Meet Director Notes:

Griffith Park decided that they did not want us putting out our usual controls, so for the first time we tried using the MapRun app as the punching system for an in-person event. Most things went pretty smoothly, but we also learned along the way. We tried having pin flags with codes as a backup manual system, but we lost about a third of them, so it didn't work very well. It was important that people could download the course in advance. This could be a problem if the assembly area doesn't have service or a place close by to get service. It is likely that next year, we will do this event entirely with the app and not put out anything physical. We'd love to hear feedback on how you liked using the app at this event.

​

The course had a total of 36 controls with a total of 2,360 points available and four hours to get what you could. Alex Kiperman achieved the high score of the day visiting 27 controls for a score of 1,820 points. La Habra NJROTC Team 2 with 960 points was the top score for any entry that included a female. Mikhail and Sergey Biryukov amassed 1,360 points to be the top entry that included a Junior member.

​

Candy bar awards were distributed to the top scorers in the categories shown in the results below.

​

The MapRun app creates its own results file which also links to a routegadget where you can see everyone's route. Some official results do not match the MapRun results due to score adjustments made by the organizers.
